Glee!fic: Escapology For Dummies

[rainjoyswriting]

*emerges like a ninja in a cloud of twinkly purple smoke*

Escapology For Dummies from the Klainetana cycle. I wanted to get it finished before season three started and technically I succeeded! More in this arc will depend on how canon pans out season three, but I would like to write one more for the summer between seasons <3

I love this friendship, and I love this 'verse. Thank you for sharing. ^_^

[rainjoyswriting]

Thank you for reading it =) I'm glad you liked it, honey ^^

Santana's opinions about Edith Piaf and the movie, while I do not agree with them, are hilarious. As is her view on subtitled movies in general.

I also enjoy that Kurt doesn't trust Blaine to tell him whether he looks blotchy or not because he knows Blaine's default setting is "oh, you always look great!"

And now I can't wait for you to see the new episode because I look forward to what you could come up with incorporating new canonical developments. Meep!

I should probably have a disclaimer that I don't agree with her either (like, 80% of my DVDs are subtitled? Mind you, I'm an anime fangirl ^^;), but I do think she's funny ;)

The way Blaine looks at Kurt, Kurt is right not to trust him. There is no circumstance in which Blaine would not be staring up at Kurt like a puppy stares at a brand new chewtoy, tiny tail wagging, oblivious to all else. Bless him. So, I'm glad you liked it honey! Thank you for reading it, and I will now go flail somewhere about the episode and oh my god SANTANA. Nuhh ;_;

I read this, went to get coffee and couldn't stop the words "dead French Rachel" from snickering around my brain. So now back from coffee and feel I owe you more comment than just "my brain snickers at dead French Rachel"

My brain also snickers at: "He does leadership, I make two dozen giant papier mache mushrooms." (although brain also goes a bit sad at that too...)

I love seeing their relationship through the mirror of Santana, but also they way they reflect on themselves, like the first time they met when Kurt sing-songs "rockstars" and you write that like we can all see the way he rolls his eyes fondly and nostalgically as he says it.

But my absolute favourite bit that fits my headcanon like a bespoke thing is:

"Ain't your property, Hummel."

"It damn well is, let go of his foot." Kurt kicks at herBecause this is just it as far as I'm concerned. Kurt's got what he wanted and he's hanging onto it because he's always known what he's deserved and he had to wait so damn long for him - of course he's going to go round scenting on

[rainjoyswriting]

I had the 'dead French Rachel' revelation while writing, and then had to stop for a moment. Edith Piaf, I *love* you, but it's so true ;_;

Oh god I *bet* Kurt takes the 'my' part of 'my boyfriend' very literally. Why would he *possibly* want to let him go? I can see him fighting tooth and nail and terrifyingly to keep Blaine from all comers, and to protect his feet from molestation. Especially from Santana ^^;

Oh god #2 having seen the episode, btw, Santana ;_; I *so* need this friendship this season, because she needs it. This OT3 will rock the school. Because Kurt *has* got what he wanted and got it through honesty and bravery and being fierce, so Santana can do it too, and she *should*. (Fuck you Will Schuester rargh)

So, thank you for reading it! Glad you liked it, honey, as always =)

I was commenting before you saw the ep and so I had to really, really restrain myself for congratulating you on how prescient you were

[rainjoyswriting]

I spent that episode SO ANGRY at Will. Like, seriously, you're a *teacher*? You're less mature than every last one of your students, and *seriously* that is saying something. And Santanaaaaa ;_;

I am so, so happy with their relationship though, that they are so comfortable that Kurt can do the 'passive aggressive' thing without actually meaning it at all and they just - understand each other, and are as adorable together as a puppy hugging a kitten. Literally. And it's clearly been *such* a good summer for Blaine, he's just bloomed, it's like he's finally slid into the fact that he can be exactly who he wants to be because look, Kurt does it every day, and now he's all - vibrant and dorky and adorable. I just. The two of them. Just. I lose coherency, guh.

And I'm glad if you've been enjoying the fic, and if it's been good for travel-reading =) Thank you honey, and welcome back to fandom, woo! ^^

[eaconwell]

i love your klainetana arc :) i can't wait for more

[rainjoyswriting]

I'm glad you've enjoyed it ^^ Thanks for reading!

[etheraria]

Oh, I do so love this 'verse. Even though Kurt and Blaine have my heart, it really isn't so bad when Santana swoops in and steals it for a bit, playing around with it for funsies.

[rainjoyswriting]

Which she would do, for her own special definition of 'playing' ;) I'm glad you liked it honey, thanks for reading!
